Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Update as of October 25, 2026: Changes to Heroes, Equipment, and Card Brawl Mode
On the night of October 25, the developers of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang released an update that reworked hero ability stats and introduced changes to gear and the Card Brawl mode. See our article for the full list of changes in Russian.
Hero Changes
The symbols (↑), (↓), and (~) indicate a buff, nerf, and change, respectively.
Aldos (↑)
We have reverted the damage buff to his first skill that was introduced last week. Instead, we’ve increased the damage reduction of his second skill and reduced its cooldown in the early game.
Skill 1 (↓)
- Base Damage: 300–500 >> 200–450.
Skill 2 (↑)
- Cooldown: 12–9.5 seconds >> 9.5 seconds at all levels;
- Damage Reduction: 30% at all levels >> 30%–55%.
Atlas (↓)
Atlas’s passive skill was freezing enemies too often, so we’ve reduced the duration of the “Frostbite” effect.
Passive Skill (↓)
- “Icy Breath” duration: 5 seconds >> 4 seconds.
Glu (↓)
We have reverted the experimental changes to Glu.
Skill 1 (↑)
- Explosion Damage: 200–350 >> 230–380.
Kagura (~)
Optimized the visual indicator showing the maximum allowed distance between Seimei’s umbrella and Kagura.
Kaja (↑)
We’ve added new ways for Kaja to extend his flight state and increased his mobility while in that state.
Skill 2 (↑)
- Increased Kaja’s turning speed while in flight for more responsive controls.
New effect: While in flight, enhanced basic attacks that hit enemies slightly extend the duration of this state.
New effect: While in flight, hitting enemy minions with Skill 2 now also extends the duration of this state. ㅤ
Masha (↓)
Slightly reduced the consistently high damage dealt by Masha’s passive skill in the late game.
Passive Skill (↓)
- Bonus to additional physical attack: 1% of additional physical attack >> 0.5% of additional physical attack;
- Bonus per level: 0.3% * hero level >> 0.2% * hero level.
Ultimate (↑)
- The previous nerf to the ultimate has been reversed;
- Base damage: 240–480 >> 300–600.
Melissa (↑)
The changes affecting Melissa in the previous update turned out to be more significant than intended. We sincerely apologize to players who choose this hero. We have partially reverted these changes to help Melissa regain some of her late-game damage.
Ability 2 (↑)
- Damage transfer from Muddles: 52% at all levels >> 50%–60%;
- Attack effect transfer rate: 52% at all levels >> 50%–60% (now matches the damage transfer rate from basic attacks).
Equipment Changes
Antique Cuirass (↑)
This item’s effectiveness was lower than that of “Shoulder Guards of Retribution.”
Unique Passive Effect — Restraint (↑)
- Reduces the attacker’s physical damage: 6% >> 8%.
Shoulder Guards of Retribution (↓)
This item proved to be too effective against heroes who rely on attack speed.
Unique Passive Effect — Retribution (↓)
- Reduces the attacker’s attack speed and its maximum value: 75% >> 80%.
“Mythic Honor” Changes
Siege Minion on the Gold Lane (↑)
We’ve noticed that fighters have come to dominate the gold lane—both in high-tier ranked matches and in professional play. To help marksmen accumulate gold more quickly, we’ve increased the amount of gold earned on this lane in the early game.
- Bonus Gold: 40% >> 60%.
Battlefield Effects
We’ve reverted the changes made last week and adjusted the base stats of these mechanics.
- Base health increase for towers: 1,000 >> 2,000;
- Gold for the team for destroying an outer tower: 100 >> 90;
- Team gold for destroying an inner tower: 140 >> 120.
System Changes

Temporary Disabling of Custom Settings for Medium and Large Buttons
